VEMU

VEMU The objective of VEMU Estonian Museum Canada is to become the depository of the archives, printed materials, art and artifacts of the Estonian diaspora.

VEMU Estonian Museum Canada, located in Toronto, connects Canadian and Estonian communities through vibrant cultural programming, including lectures, workshops, exhibitions, film screenings, theatre, concerts, and more, in both Estonian and English. VEMU (Väliseesti Muuseum) põhiideeks ja püüdeks on olla väliseesti arhiivide, trükiste, kunsti ja museaalide hoidlaks, kus säilitatakse, tehakse kätte

saadavaks ja uuritakse meie ajalugu. Eesti Õppetöö Keskus kööstöös Toronto Ülikooli Eesti Õppetooli ja teiste väliseesti organisatsionidega on kujundamas VEMUsti eesti ajaloo ja kultuuri keskust Põhja-Ameerikas. These items are kept and made available for the research and study of our history. The collaboration of the Estonian Studies Centre with the University of Toronto’s Chair of Estonian Studies and other Estonian organizations is shaping VEMU into a North-American centre of Estonian history and culture.

Between children’s music and educational YouTube channels, the Estonian multimedia project known as Lolala has become part of tens of thousands of people’s lives. And it all started in the living room of Anna and A***n Levin.

As Anna, the latest episode guest, describes, they were equipped with performance experience, imaginative songs, and a green screen. The setup wasn’t fancy. But even so, things really took off. And their own children have been right there with them all along, enjoying the music and heart-warming exploration.

In this episode of EstoCast, hear about:

🎙️ Anna’s transition from jazz singing to writing problem-solving songs

🖥️ how the early Estonian-language YouTube scene prompted their work

🎉 how parents having fun opens up possibilities for kids

📹 and much more!
